What Equipment Do You Need?
A 23-litre fermentation vessel, airlock, hydrometer, syphon, and 30 bottles. New to home winemaking? Our wine starter kits bundle all essentials. Always sanitise with VWP or ChemSan — it makes a significant difference to the clarity and taste of your finished wine.
Upgrading your yeast: try Mangrove Jack's CR51, bred for light, fruity reds. If your fermenting spot runs cold over winter (often under 15°C), Lalvin EC-1118 is a reliable fallback.
